FIFA 2011 Preview

We have heard about PES 2011, now it is EA's turn to lift the lid on FIFA 2011. FIFA 2010 was widely regarded as the best football simulation, and even managed to convert PES fans to jump to the FIFA series. However EA have not rested on their laurels, they have listened to the feedback that fans have provided, so here are the improvements:

Graphics:
Players now look more realistic and animations have been further enhanced. There are now 9 different body types (FIFA 10 had 3) and EA have implemented photo technology to ensure that player faces look much more realistic.

Audio:
EA have really gone to town in this area. You can now record your own chants and play them during matches. Also you will be able to assign music for when your team comes onto the pitch as well as when they score or at the final whistle.

Gameplay:
The most important element. FIFA 10 had solid gameplay, however there were bugs and the AI was poor. EA have listened and made tweaks. Passing has been improved, EA have implemented "Pro Passing" which lets you control the weight of distribution and now longer can the likes Keith Andrews pass the all as effectively as Xavi. Player AI has been improved massively and goalkeepers are now much more realistic.

Other improvements include Players having their own personalities. so the likes of Wayne Rooney charge around the pitch closing down the opposition, whereas Tevez is full of flicks and Dider Drogba strong and powerful.

FIFA 11 is shaping up to be a great game, it seems that EA have listened to what the fans have demanded. Maybe this year we could have 2 great games on the market.
